As Long As I Live - Lyrics by Harold Arlen


Lyrics

Maybe i can't live to love you as long as i want to.
Life isn't long enough baby, but i can love you as long as i live.

Maybe i can't give you diamonds and things like i want to,
But i can promise you, baby, i'm gonna want to as long as i live.

I never cared, but now i'm scared, i won't live long enough.
That's why i wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every day then see
The doctor anyway.

What if i can't live to love you as long as i want to.
Long as i promise you, baby, i'm gonna love you as long i live.

<musical interlude>

I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow
I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu,
And that would never never do

What if i can't live to love you as long as i want to.
Long as i promise you, baby, i'm gonna love you as long i live.
